The speaker emphasizes that God will provide for his people's physical needs and bring them joy. The speaker shares a personal testimony of God's provision in their life.

The writer shares a story about their first pastor from Cuba who founded churches in multiple countries. The pastor's family was often provided for by their congregation, who brought them clothes and meals when they couldn't give money.

The author interprets these insects as representing demonic forces that can oppress families and individuals. The author encourages readers to seek help from others in their spiritual battles, and reminds them to be wary of Satan's deceptive disguises. The writer also shares a personal story about a former heroin addict who was instantly healed and delivered from addiction at a Pentecostal church.

The speaker also emphasizes God's power as a healer, liberator, and provider, and encourages listeners to take hold of the blessings God has for them. The message ends with a call to praise and thank God for his precious offerings.


The Lord has done precious things, but he is going to confirm and continue what he has already begun. Then the Lord put it in my heart, in my spirit to preach from the book of Joel.

Joel chapter 2, and we are going to read verses from 23 to 29, and when they find it they can say praise the Lord, how beautiful the Lord is, praise the name of Jesus, praise God. Joel 2 from 23 to 29, and if you would be so kind, stand up with me, and we are going to read this word in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, because the Lord, brothers, is going to do things, he has already done them, but the Lord is going to continue doing powerful things on this day, he knows that the Lord is moving, and he is moving in a way that he has never moved before, the Lord told Isaiah, that the last days, and you brothers Excuse me men, but he told Isaiah that in the last days he was going to rise up like a woman who was ready to push her son out. And you who have given birth when the child is about to be born and the doctor tells you, push! push it out, for the Lord said that to the prophet, in the last days, I myself will rise like a woman who is going to give birth, and when I push, the nations are going to have to move. Because the Lord is doing mighty things.
